Well, in our other post about “Mojave” we were called “Microsoft whores.” That gave me a good laugh since we own Mac’s.

I agree with the article that Microsoft should have allowed the video that loads be embedded on web sites as it would be a good viral video. They really missed the boat on that decision.

On Penn & Teller's Bullsh!t (tv show) they did the same thing in a restaurant. They hired an actor to play a waiter who sold people in a restaurant cheap food out of cans that the people thought was exotic and delicious and worth like $50 a dish. The people were then told and couldn't believe it. And the second example I can think of is those Pizza Hut pasta commercials where pasta is served to people in an Italian restaurant (with a hidden camera) and they think it's some high quality amazing stuff but then they find out it's Pizza Hut and an "oh wow Pizza Hut surprised us all" look appears on their faces.
